Hi
I would like to have the exact data during a drilling of composite material. So is anyone know a system that i can put beside the material and have a monitor to show me the : strain, the thrust force and the feed rate of the drill ?
I know i can put a kind of a dynamometer with a strain gage on it and over a plate of ALu and finally the part to be cut. But a system under 400$ should be interesting.
For the thrust, i have think of a rotary encoder that i might derivate the thrust by : if the speed goes down = some thrust resistance happen...
Thank in advance
